WURGLER'S TRIAL RESUMED.
The Defendant Tells the Story Of the Killing
Of Culley-ClOse Of the Testimony.

The Wurgler murder trial attracted more
visitors yesterday than any day since it
began. Juror Rice not WELL but he
sented to serve and the was resumed at 10
o'clock. d. CLARK stated that he assisted In get
ting Culley home after the shooting and saw
powder stains the collar Of his shirt. Edward
Davis and William Ross. members of the Shep
herd Guards, were in the room the door
when the shooting occurred and detailed what
passed between the young men, substantially the
same several other witnesses had done. After
the accused was put upon the stand He
told very straight for ward story. and in his
reference to the difficulty at the door agreed
with all the other witnesses, except that
Clayton Miller, who stood in the doorway
with Gully. had club in his hand which
sem bIad a piece of billiard cue. He related
that, during the Lafayette encampment, he had
trouble with Miller and Gully. and that after
they came home he received notice from Gully
through Miller that ''ie he got the drop cn
him he intended to kill him. Other threats
were. he said, also made. Wurgler was put
through a very trying cross examination by
Major Mitchell. but he did not change his testi-
mony any. The defense introduced several wit
nesses TO prove that Miller and Gully had threat
ened Wurglers life. and then rested their case.
The prosecution presented only witnesses
for rebuttal. They were Clayton Miller and j.
w. She pherd who testified that no one outside
the door carried a club. The argument will be-
gin this morning. at o o'clock and the case will
probably go TO the jnrv about noon.

There is a time-honored
saying that it is better to be
an old mans darling than a
young mans slave. So evil
IDENTIFY thought Miss Bessie
Michigan a plump girl Of
twenty, who was married in
Philadelphia on Tuesday to a
retired printer of the mature
age of seventy years. The
old man was not even sufi-
GENTLY rejuvinated by the
event to be able to skip
around on his wedding day,
as elderly bridegrooms are
wont to do. The old printer
was too far gone for that
death held a first mortgage
on him when the knot was
tied. The girl had acted as
his nurse, and possibly the
fact that her septuagenarian
is worth 10000 and
has a life income $50 week
may have been an inducement
to her. There is something
very terrible IN the idea of
dollars and cents in marriage,
but the hard fact remains
that Bessie McGuigan would
find a great many imitators
# the opportunity presented
itself a little oftener than it
does.
